Use of offers or content from third parties

As part of our website offer, based on our legitimate interests (in particular our interest in the optimization and economic operation of our online offer, Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), content offers from third parties are used so that we can embed their content and services, such as maps or fonts. In order to make this possible, these third parties must receive the IP address of each user of our website. Without transmission of the IP address, it is not possible to make content available to the respective user, so this is required data.

Google Maps – In our offers, maps from the service "Google Maps" (provider: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) are embedded via iFrame. In particular, the data processed during the display may include IP addresses and location data of the users of our website, but this data is not collected without users' consent (generally configured as part of the settings of their mobile devices or requested via the browser). This data may be processed in the USA. Google LLC Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, opt out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Google reCAPTCHA – We use Google's reCaptcha service to determine if a human or computer is typing into our contact or newsletter form. Google checks whether you are a human or a computer using the following data: IP address of the device used, the pages on our website you visit and in which the captcha is embedded, the date and duration of the visit, the recognition data of the type of browser and operating system used, Google account if you are logged into Google, mouse movements on the reCaptcha surfaces, and tasks that require you to identify images. The legal basis for the above-described data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation. There is a legitimate interest on our part in this data processing to ensure the security of our website and to protect us from automated input (attacks).

Use of Google Analytics

(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files stored on your computer that allow analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, however, your IP address will be truncated in advance by Google within the area of Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The complete IP address will only be transferred in exceptional cases to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website usage and services related to internet usage to the website operator.

(2) The IP address provided by Google Analytics through your browser will not be merged with other Google data.

(3) You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. In addition, you can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie, which is related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the "_anonymizeIp()" extension. As a result, IP addresses are truncated for processing, so that any relation to a person can be excluded. If the data collected about you includes any personal references, it will be immediately excluded and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

(5) We use Google Analytics to analyze and improve the use of our website on a regular basis. The statistics we receive allow us to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. For any exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the US, Google complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Offers on social networks

We make offers available on selected social networks and platforms, with the purposes including the ability to communicate with the users who are active on such networks and platforms. When using these networks and platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook, their respective terms and conditions and data processing guidelines apply. In the context of these platforms, we process users' data if they communicate with us by means of these social networks and platforms, in which case the data entered by the users themselves or generated by their use is processed.

Data security

Our website is secured via the SSL (Secure Socket Layer, usually with 256-bit encryption) process. We use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against manipulation, loss, destruction or unauthorized access by third parties.
